I don’t forget that McCann is able to concentrate more on training now because of her improved financial situation but this will be a great test for both her and Blanchfield.
On paper Blanchfield seems like the better fighter but let’s see if she can perform with all the attention her opponent will bring. We know McCann can.

I think Blanchfield's grappling skills get her the win.

Look at these stats:
http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/51018a31ddf31eb2
Lara Procopio took her down 7 times. Taila Santos took her down 5 times. Gilian Robertson took her down 2 times.
Erin Blanchfield is arguably the better grappler than all 3 of those women.

I would say Aldrich has better TDD but Molly presents the KO threat so people max betting Blanchfield could have a sweat (I’ll still be max betting)

But if Lara Procopio is *****ing you on the ground than you can bet Erin will do the same

Terrible fight for both and will probably be a dull grappling affair, molly is fighting a little too much especially if she is cutting weight. Erin will of course be trying to avoid stiking with tough molly.
